Synopsis

"Pirate Code What" offers a fascinating exploration of the sophisticated governance systems that emerged during the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730), revealing how these seafaring outlaws developed complex organizational structures that were surprisingly democratic and egalitarian.The book challenges common perceptions of pirates as mere criminals, instead presenting them as pioneers of workers' rights and democratic organization at sea. Through meticulous analysis of court records, ship logs, and surviving documents, the book examines three crucial aspects of pirate society: formal written articles, unwritten customs, and the evolution of these regulations over time.One of the most intriguing revelations is how pirate codes emerged as a direct response to the harsh conditions and arbitrary rule aboard merchant and naval vessels, establishing fair resource distribution and democratic decision-making processes that were centuries ahead of their time. The narrative progresses from the historical origins of pirate codes in buccaneer articles to specific examples from famous pirates like Bartholomew Roberts, before concluding with an analysis of their lasting influence on maritime law and organizational behavior.Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, the book connects these historical practices to modern concepts of workplace democracy and social equality, making it valuable for both academic researchers and general readers interested in maritime history. The comprehensive examination of primary sources and archaeological findings provides a well-rounded understanding of how these codes shaped both pirate society and subsequent maritime traditions.

    Apologise… Hell, No! The Power of an Apology in an Entitled World is a visceral read that explores the ups and down of the apology in a world that's forgetting how to say sorry and mean it. Combining personal memoir, along with some practical advice this book is rich in its openness and evocative enough to challenge, assist and uplift you as it takes both a light-hearted and serious look at the different uses of the apology spanning stoic philosophers, Stick Man, #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, narcissism, entitlement, slavery and WW1 to name but a few. 
    "A deeply personal yet systematic approach to the delicate art of apologizing." — Kirkus Reviews 
     "Unflinching honesty that has translated into something rich and evocative." — Sara Starbuck

    The internationally acclaimed last work by the legendary Latin American writer Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction. Comprised of all new material, published here for the first time in a wonderful English translation by longtime collaborator Mark Fried, Hunter of Stories is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy. Written in his signature style -- vignettes that fluidly combine dialogue, fables, and anecdotes -- every page displays the original thinking and compassion that has earned Galeano decades and continents of renown.
